I drive the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo on Southern California freeways to demonstrate Porsche InnoDrive (PID)....Porsche's driver assistance system. But Murphy's Law strikes and anything that can go wrong with InnoDrive, pretty much did go wrong. After ~26,000 miles of mostly positive experience with this Taycan's InnoDrive system, I intended on showing what was good with this system compared to Tesla's Basic Autopilot. But instead, all I ended up with were reasons why InnoDrive fails compared to Tesla's Basic Autopilot!
0:00 - Intro
0:58 - What exactly is InnoDrive?
3:47 - Starting demo drive
4:00 - Scrolling through PID options
5:40 - Engaging PID
6:45 - Increasing the preset speed
7:53 - The first sign that something bad is happening w/ PID....
10:50 - PID in stop & go traffic
17:20 - PID is actually functional at this point
18:37 - How does PID warn/nag
20:45 - So how does it compare to Tesla's Basic Autopilot? - Авто та транспорт
Thank you for sharing this! Just purchased a used Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo and it has ACC. Having added to MyPorsche I see the option to add ALK/PID, with 90 days free trial and monthly costs there after. I'll probably still sign up and give it a shot, but your video prepares me for worse case scenario. With any luck, here in Ohio will provide better results. My expectations are low, and your video gives me a good baseline too. Again, appreciate the time/video!
Glad you found it helpful - I hope your experience with ALK/PID is better than what I experienced here!
Porsche represents InnoDrive with Active Lane Keeping as a driver assistance feature - not as a hands free autonomous driving feature. To quote from the Active Lane Keeping topic in my Cayenne's owners manual: "Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times in order to always by ready to steer." (Apparently "be" got translated to "by" in that statement.)
I wonder how much the right angle of sun glare on the lenses may affect the cameras' ability to lane keep, or dirt and bug splatter, etc. Still, not confidence inspiring though if it didn't warn you that it was having problems.
Good question, but none of those factors you mentioned should have made the lane keep system so ineffective and inconsistent. Throughout the drive you could see numerous instances where the car was basically going in a straight line and it would intermittently just lose sight of the right lane or the left lane and then inexplicably gain it back. Definitely not confidence inspiring!
Love this
That is quite possible. The only time my Cayenne's InnoDrive/ALK wasn't able to "see" lane lines on a multi-lane highway was when I was driving directly into a low hanging sun on a clear warm day last summer. I could barely see the lane lines due to the glare and suspected that my Cayenne couldn't see them for the same reason. I had driven this section of road many times while using InnoDrive - both day and night - with no problems at all.
